THE BLASINGAME
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
A Strong Appeal From tbs ladles Home

asville Times*Enterprise.
Some days ngotheTimes-Enter*
prise recorded the transfer of the
Jennings home to Mrs. W. P.
Blasingame, trustee. Today, the
official announcement is made that
the placo will be turned into
girls’ industrial school.
Thu place is about a mile from
the city, and only a short distance
from Magnolia Park, on the new
Magnolia-road. It is splendidly
adapted to the work proposed and
the generous donor has established
to himself and his name a most
noble monument.
Below, wo print a card from the
Home Mission Board committee,
in which an appeal is made for
funds to assist in the establish
ment of the school:
“Throughout our Southern
States there are homes into which
all destitute orphans, under ten
years of ago can enter and find
warm hearts to-receive them, and
develop them into strong men and
women. There aro homes also for
girls and womon who have been
leading lives of degradation and
shame, where they can go for care
and protection, and thorough the
“Blood of Christ be cleansed from
all sin.” How many women we
know not, have fallen because no
hand has been held out to lead
them into paths of rectitude.
Christian friends, have you ever
thought that, in that great day
whon all must stand before 'that
last tribunal to give an account oi
the deeds done in the body that
some one of these * will say:
“You oould have saved me from
the many temptations that were
thrown around me.”
Many of these have been pure,
.sweet girls, who were leftto battle
against poverty and misfortune,
and becoming discouraged and
■ thinking no one cared for their
souls, succumbed to a lifo worse
than death. „
The urgent need of n home for
those friendless girls from tho age
of ten to eighteen has so impress
ed one of our citizens that he has
made thujihcrul donation of n
thirteen room house with four
acres of Innd attached, and the
promise of fifty more acres soon
to bo given. Tho home is known
as the Jennings’ place and is lo
cated just beyond the city limits.
This gift is a memorial to the
mother of the donor, whose name
it will bear, “Vashti Blasingame.”
“Sho being dead yet spenketh,
calling rnanya friendless wander
er Homo.”
This Home for the present will
bo under the supervision of the
Home Mission Society of the
Thomasville Methodist church.
Miss Annie Heath, our deacon
ess, so well known here, will be
placed in charge of tho Home with
Miss.Alico Groover ns her 'assist
ant.
Tho board of directors have
taken up this work with hearts
and hands uplifted to Qod, say
ing: “All our help must come
front Thee.,’ “In the name of
our God we will set up our ban
ner; the l.ord fulfill all our pot
tions.”
In a short while circulars will
bo sent out throughout Georgia
and Florida, informing the people
of this home and its opportuni
ties. But we are not seeking
means for its'support in this way,
only give (or its support ns unto
the Lord, for it is His work.
Tlie home will Ire run on the in
dustrial plan and will soon Ite
self-supporting, dairying and
poultry raising being the chief in
dustries. Literary instruction
and domestic training will lie
, made thorough, and nlmvo all
their duty to God will lie taught
in a thorough course of Bible
studies.
The home will be opened to re-

Hero is the lutest story sent out
' the divine Sarah’s press agent:
Sdmond Rostand, the dramatist,
after his reception among the im
mortals of the French ucudumy
gave a dinner to a few of his wor
shipers. Sarah Bernhardt sat in the
place of honor, attired in a wander-
'til creation of faintly tinted tulle
lacc, which hud been worn during
the ceremony in tbc afternoon. At
dessert, when tiic champagne began
to flow, Sarah rose, 11 ml a hush fell
on the company. Taking a goblet
of wine in her hand, she raised it
to her brow. ‘Thus do I pour liba
tions after the aheient custom to a
divine poet 1’ she cried nml emptied
tho cup on the crown of her bend.
She smiled ns the wiuc trickled
down her hair and shoulders and
over her gossamer robe.
“ ‘Your dress will be spoiled,’ the
guests exclaimed.
“‘It was intended to bo worn
but on this dny,’ was Sarah’s reply.”

Dignified Behavior of the Schoolboys
of Hongkong. ,
The model schoolboy is to be
looked for in China. Eleven hun
dred college boys, nil bound for
Queen’s college, Hongkong, and not
one of them indulging in boisterous
laughter or even letting off his su
perfluous spirits by a. run or a leap,
is a sight to be witnessed any day in
that eastern city.
A correspondent stood in one of
the streets crowded by these Chi
nese schoolboys and watched them
as they passed.- They did not hur
ry, but walked sedately along with
their books under their arms. The
utmost exhibition of youthful feel
ing was a reserved smile which light
ed up the face of a boy here and
there as he listened to the conversa
tion of his companions.
Boisterous behavior would have
been considered by . those Chinese
lads as undignified and quite con
trary to all ideas of schoolboy good
form. The more sedate a Chinese
boy is in bis behavior the more he
conducts himBelf like a little old
man, the more aristocratic he is con
sidered by his schoolfellows and tho
more praise he receives from his
schoolmasters and his parents.
There was little variety in tho col
or and cut of their dress. They
wore no hats. Some had brushed
all their hair straight back into their
long cues, while others had a
fringe of Btiff bristles dividing the
shaved from the unshaved territory
of their heads.

The Dog and the Horae.
Hero is a vouched for story of tho
affection existing between a dog and
a horse: A gentleman living in n
farm has among his pets a Shetland
pony and a collie dog! The pair are
fast friends, and tho dog spends
hours following tho pony in the
{ mature. When they get pnrticular-
y loving they rub their noses to
gether, and not long since after an
embrace of this kind the dog was
seen to make his way stealthily to
tho corn bin. When he came out he
held nn car of corn in his mouth
and, with many side glances and a
general air of guilt, jumped a fence
and deposited the corn at the pony’s
feet. Many times since then the
dog has played the same trick, and
the understanding between the pair
seems to bo as thorough as any well
plauned human conspiracy.
Balance and Overbalance.
Tho only things required for the
game here described arc a large
clothes basket, a broomstick, two
apples and two chairs.
The broomstick is first put
through the handles of the basket
and the protruding ends rested on
the two chairs. The apples must
also he placed on the chairs.
A person then sits astrido that
part of tho broomstick over tho
basket, with his feet resting in the
latter, and endeavors to knock the
apples off the chair* with a walking
atick.
The occupant of the basket will
invarinbly jlresa one foot down more
than the other, which causes the
basket-to tilt sideways and himself
to be thrown out on to the floor.
Cupless Drinking Fountains.
Drinking fountains of a novel
•tyle are being introduced in the
public parks of Cleveland. The pipe
of a faucet projects vertically from
the center of a bowl, and when the
valve is opened a stream shoot* into
the air perpendicularly to the height
of four and a half inches. The
drinker places hit month over the
opening and drinks from the sport
ing stream. The sanitary advan
tage of doing away with a cup for
common use is obvious.. -
